Situation Report – 141
Data as received by WHO from national authorities by 10:00 CEST, 09 June 2020
Highlights
More than 7 million cases of COVID-19 and over 400 000 deaths have now been reported to WHO. Although
the situation in Europe is improving, globally it is worsening. On Sunday, more than 136 000 cases were
reported, the most in a single day so far. In countries seeing positive signs, the WHO Director-General warned
in his media briefing yesterday ‘the biggest threat now is complacency’.
The WHO Regional Office for the Americas has published a guide with recommendations on measures to
reduce COVID-19 transmission among indigenous populations, Afro-descendants, and other ethnic groups. The
recommendations focus on promoting hygiene, social distancing, and improving access to basic health services
in these communities.
WHO fully supports equality and the global movement against racism. We encourage all those protesting
around the world to do so safely: as much as possible, keep at least 1 metre from others, clean your hands,
cover your cough and wear a mask if you attend a protest.
WHO has published 14 new community and risk engagement posters on parenting during the pandemic. Some
of the topics that these posters cover include: learning through play, keeping calm and managing stress,
keeping children safe online, family budgeting in times of financial stress, and talking about COVID-19.

Case definitions
WHO periodically updates the Global Surveillance for human infection with coronavirus disease
(COVID-19) document which includes surveillance definitions.
Caution must be taken when interpreting all data presented. Differences are to be expected between
information products published by WHO, national public health authorities, and other sources using
different inclusion criteria and different data cut-off times. While steps are taken to ensure accuracy
and reliability, all data are subject to continuous verification and change. Case detection, definitions,
testing strategies, reporting practice, and lag times differ between countries/territories/areas. These
factors, amongst others, influence the counts presented, with variable underestimation of true case
and death counts, and variable delays to reflecting these data at global level.
The designations employed, and the presentation of these materials do not imply the expression of
any opinion whatsoever on the part of WHO concerning the legal status of any country, territory or
area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. Dotted and
dashed lines on maps represent approximate border lines for which there may not yet be full
agreement. Countries, territories and areas are arranged under the administering WHO region.
The mention of specific companies or of certain manufacturers’ products does not imply that they are
endorsed or recommended by WHO in preference to others of a similar nature that are not
mentioned. Errors and omissions excepted, the names of proprietary products are distinguished by
initial capital letters.

Counts reflect laboratory-confirmed cases and deaths, based on WHO case definitions, unless stated
otherwise (see Country, territory, or area-specific updates and errata), and include both domestic and
repatriated cases.
Other*: includes cases reported from international conveyances.
Due to the recent trend of countries conducting data reconciliation exercises which remove large
numbers of cases or deaths from their total counts, WHO will now display such data as negative
numbers in the “new cases” / “new deaths” columns as appropriate. This will aid readers in identifying
when such adjustments occur. When additional details become available that allow the subtractions to
be suitably apportioned to previous days, graphics will be updated accordingly. Prior situation reports
will not be edited; see covid19.who.int for the most up-to-date data.
Additional table notes
i Transmission classification is based on a process of country/territory/area self-reporting.
Classifications are reviewed on a weekly basis and may be revised as new information becomes
available. and. Differing degrees of transmission may be present within countries/territories/areas;
classification is based on the highest category reported within a country/territory/area. Categories:
